Description

Ads Manager Pro brings advertising management to your Forovanta forum. Display desktop and mobile banner ads, or add administrator-managed HTML and JavaScript creatives directly within supported placements.

Create paid advertising packages, offer multi-placement bundles and discounts, or run your own house ads without checkout. Manage campaign approvals, scheduling, targeting, capacity queues, renewals and full refunds using supported Stripe and PayPal integrations.

Track impressions, clicks and click-through rates with date-filtered reports and CSV exports. Advertisers can manage their campaigns, while administrators control placements, edit campaigns, archive deleted ads and configure expiry reminders.

Includes a front-page-only placement above Community Statistics, mobile scaling for valid creatives, ad-free role/group settings and an option to hide the header Advertise link.
